The Steelers held a moment of silence before Sunday’s game for the 11 people killed

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin lives a few blocks from the synagogue and said “words can not express how we feel as members of this community” in response to the attack. Defensive end and Pittsburgh native Cam Heyward said it took him longer than usual to get his mind totally on the game at hand.“It’s a tightknit community Youth JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , and a tightknit city,” Heyward said. “When you think about innocent people that have nothing to do with that, it horrible. It bigger than football. That moment of silence Black Bud Dupree Jersey , it took a while to even think about football. There are a lot of families hurting. There are a lot of people caring and showing love. We have to work together and come together as a community. I grew up in this city. Innocent people shouldn have to suffer for that. I know we play football, but it so much bigger than football.”Steelers president Art Rooney II released a statement before the game calling for all to take a “stand against anti-Semitism and hate crimes of any nature and come together to preserve our values and our community.”Steelers Injury Report: Ben Roethlisberger status uncertain after missing second practice The Pittsburgh Steelers official practice report for Thursday made slightly better reading than the one they released on Wednesday, but there are still some key names sidelined by injury with just one full day of practice remaining before they take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. After telling reporters his elbow was fine only a day earlier Youth Chukwuma Okorafor Jersey , Ben Roethlisberger was held out of training for a second consecutive day and his status for Sunday must now be considered questionable. Big Ben was not the only starter sitting out once again either, with David DeCastro and Joe Haden both forced to miss another practice session due to injury as well.If they cannot practice on Friday, it is unlikely that any of these three names will play against the Chiefs and the final injury report of the week will be especially significant. While Roethlisberger seems to have the best chance of playing of this group http://www.authenticspittsburghsteelers.com/cheap-marcus-gilbert-jersey , there does not appear to be an overwhelming sense of confidence that he will.Josh Dobbs would start in place of Roethlisberger if he cannot go, while Cameron Sutton would replace Joe Haden and B.J. Finney would cover for David DeCastro. There was some good news with the return of Cam Heyward as a full participant in training after being sidelined on Wednesday. Tyson Alualu’s involvement as a limited participant is at least encouraging given he was unable to train the day before too. Back-to-back days of full practice for Vance McDonald is something of a miracle given how limited he has been for the last month or so and the tight end is optimistic he might play against the Chiefs.Eric Berry and Ben Niemann missed another day of practice for Kansas City and they look to be the only players in any real danger of missing the game for the Chiefs this week.
